“I really wanted to see this while it was in theaters, but I just never got around to it. I really adore Hailee Steinfeld in pretty much anything. Anyways I finally took my chance to check it out. This is the directorial debut for Kelly Fremon Craig who has written a few other films. Let's see if this was worth wanting to check out.

"The Edge of Seventeen is a perfectly good teen comedy about a teenager undergoing difficulties in her relationships in a journey that leads her to understand that other people have problems too and the world doesn't revolve around her. I... I don't think I want to see anymore movies with this plot?
